Album Review Comments: "Imaginary Episodes"
"Grayson Wray is apparently a favourite of campus radio stateside; given the
opportunity, he'll probably find a bigger audience on these shores. Hailing from Los
Angeles, Wray's flamboyant, colourful mix of glam, proto-punk, and neo-psychedelia will reel
in a more knowledgeable crowd in the U.K., beyond America's vapid monthly flavours. The T.
Rex fuzz and swagger of "The Silver Cord of Avalon" is a mid-'70s flashback that is among
the most tasty offerings on this disc."
- Adam Harrington
"Imaginary Episodes" is an unpretentious, entertaining disc that reaches a party-level
boisterousness at times, namely on the hip-shaking "Saved the World Tonight" and the
exhilarating "Burn Bright," which slams nearly every modern rocker on commercial radio in
the ass with its thumping beat."
- Kyrby Raine
"The Grayson Wray Project isn't really like any other band on the scene right now.
Frankly, it took me a little time to acclimate to a band that melds power pop (a la Lush)
with artsy sounds similar to Jethro Tull. Not only that, but the more you listen to the
album, the more you realize that it's virtually impossible to classify this band."

Reviews of "And She's From Nowhere" from Garage Band
"Best thing I've heard on garageband. Gorgeous song. Well produced. Its complete,
sounds rich, even tastes good. Extremely well used vocals. Good bridges, lovely chorus. I
would change nothing. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but this is beyond me to critique.

"Something very exotic about this tune. I really like the production. I feel like it
mixes the ideas from "secret agent man" with brazilian bosa nova and production by feist. I
like those back up vocals. I feel like I'm in an old 70's movie. I really dig it. Very
fun. Great flute. Takes you away to another country. I wish I had a margarita right now."
